General guidance for this class

Reference standards in the Endocrine class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.

Mechanism & research applications

C-Peptide, human sits within the Endocrine research class (CPC reference CPEP-001). Endocrine peptides bind class A/B GPCRs and RTKs on hormone-responsive tissues, triggering canonical cAMP, IP₃/Ca²⁺, and MAPK pathways that regulate secretion, growth, and metabolism. Investigators typically incorporate C-Peptide, human as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. HTRF cAMP, calcium mobilization (FLIPR), and radioligand binding are the standard readouts.

Studied for

  • Receptor-binding and functional selectivity studies
  • Second-messenger (cAMP / IP₁) profiling
  • Hypothalamic–pituitary axis feedback modeling
  • Metabolic and glucose-homeostasis research

Frequently asked

What is C-Peptide, human?

C-Peptide, human (CPC catalog code CPEP-001) is a synthetic endocrine research peptide in the endocrine category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is C-Peptide, human studied for?

Published and internal research programs use C-Peptide, human as a reference standard in endocrine workflows — for example, receptor-binding and functional selectivity studies and second-messenger (camp / ip₁) profiling. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is C-Peptide, human FDA-approved for human use?

No. C-Peptide, human is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

How is C-Peptide, human typically used in the lab?

In a endocrine workflow, C-Peptide, human is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. HTRF cAMP, calcium mobilization (FLIPR), and radioligand binding are the standard readouts.
